Essential The Official MMA Thread

[Mr.Logic]

feels like I have gone back in time, this was the kind of nonsense they had to do to shake that "bring the pain" image while seeking mainstream acceptance. And you don't put arguably the greatest fighter ever (jones) and the company's most revered icon (liddell) tucked in the back of a camera shot promoting The UFC

Tall people in the back, short people in the front, that way everybody is in the picture...That's all it was...

Need that Mcgregor/Diaz II

Never understood the fascination behind this, unless you are a diaz fan, no?

I hate the way DC carries himself at these photo ops with Jones. He's always got this "slave on auction" demeanour about him. As for the announcement it's so hilarious how this fight only became the headliner by a serious of events when this should have been the headliner from the jump. With the lukewarm reaction to jones's last bout and the fact this fight was made out of a contingency zuffa really shot themselves here

Thing is this way at least Jones gets a fight, and now he won't be won't be outta the octagon for like 18-19 months

And for Jones he gets 2 nice paychqs pretty quickly. He hasn't fought for 15months, I'm sure got sum serious lawyer bills this dbl pay day is well needed for em.

I thought it was a solid bet for Diaz. Plus Conor's backing keeping the line reasonably healthy = windfall cash.

All kinds of shots fired
I think DC stepped up his trash talk a bit

I didn't know DC had the trash talk in em

Looks like Diego Brandao got them deavors over that skrip club incident

Diego Brandao released from UFC contract after loss, conduct violation and suspension

JDS can't catch a break

Not surprised. Once DC was out this show was gonna take a hit. As good as Mighty Mouse is he doesn't bring in the numbers. These fans too stuck on his size.
